an introductory course. Ask about their expectations…i.e.: “What do you hope to learn today?”

1. Ask the class to identify what they know about computers. This could be knowledge about
what they do, how they made, the history, etc.
2. Inform the students that today they will be looking inside the computer to see how it
functions.
3. Play the video lesson Computer System Components: Computer Parts & Functions
pausing at 3:54. Consider providing the students with copies of the video transcript to follow
along with during the video.
4. Discuss the following questions with students:
• What are the two types of system units? How are they the same and different?
• What is the motherboard? What does it do?
• Why is the central processing unit like the brains of the computer?
• What is the difference between memory, cache, RAM and ROM?
• What is the hard drive? What does it do?

First, lets have a review of “What is a Computer?” In the next lesson you will see the different
parts of the computer and their functions
Monitor

Keyboard

Mouse

It is important to note that these computer parts played significant roles in our daily life.

MOTIVATION ( 25 minutes )

A.
1. Divide the class into five group. Provide each group with jigsaw puzzle. Instruct the
students to solve the puzzle within five minutes.
 2. Ask: What objects was formed when you put the puzzle pieces together?
3. Tell the students that each puzzle piece is important. If a piece is missing, the picture
cannot be completed
4. Liken the pieces of the puzzle to the parts of the computer. Explain that the computer has
different parts. Each part is needed to make the computer whole.
B. Lesson Proper
1. Show the different parts of the computer. Have the pupils name each part as you show it.
2. Explain the function of each part
3. Discussion

INSTRUCTION/DELIVERY ( 120minutes )

Interactive Discussion
WHAT IS A COMPUTER?
An electronic device that accepts data (input), manipulates the data (process), produces
information based on the manipulation (output) and stores the result (storage).

The computer performs 4 basic functions

• Input
• Process
• Output
• Storage
Human Brain analogy:
• Input = eyes, ears, mouth & nose
• Processing = brain
• Output = verbal & non-verbal reactions
• Storage = you have control / important keep / not imp. Delete

WHY WE USE COMPUTERS TO DO WORK WE COULD DO WITHOUT A COMPUTER?

• Speed: Computers can process data much faster that we can.
• Accuracy/Computers don’t get sick (without help!), they are not.
• Reliability: distracted by loving or hating you, they don’t care what you look like etc…
• Memory: Computers are able to store and recall instantaneously, huge amounts of data
PRACTICE ( 40 minutes)

1. Visually go through the components of a computer using my computer

2. Have students categorize the various components as input, output, hardware, system unit,
storage device, communication device.

1. Show the different parts of the computer. Have the pupils name each parts as you show
it
2. Explain the function of each parts.
3. Discussion

Have students write on a sheet of paper, the following:

1. Three ways have used a computer already that day.
2. Randomly choose and ask for volunteers to share the answers.
3. Explore how their lives be different without the computers they have used already.
4. How much time did they save by using that type of computer?

Remind students that the mouse is one form of input.

Maximize the Presentation on Mouse Training (PPT) and present to students

• Click
• Double Click
• Right Click
• Click and Drag
• Drag and Drop

Mouse Practice Instructor demonstrates (SLOWLY if need be).

Show student how to access and open the Mouse Practice document on their desktop by
double clicking. This may be difficult for some. If the cannot double click, teach them how
to right click and choose Open.
Repeat the Mouse Practice as students follow along.
